Possible Causes

Dryer not level, Worn or missing leveling feet, Dryer installed on weak floor, Large heavy items tumbling unevenly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting feet. Avoid placing hands under the dryer while it is running.

  • Level the dryer: Place a spirit level on top of the dryer. Adjust the leveling feet until the unit is level front-to-back and side-to-side.
  • Check feet condition: Inspect the rubber pads on the leveling feet. Replace any missing or damaged feet.
  • Secure to floor (if needed): On very flexible floors, consider reinforcing the floor or using anti-vibration pads under the feet.
  • Balance loads: Avoid drying single heavy items alone. Mix with lighter items to balance the drum.
